GREAT COMPANY

In the book In Search of Excellence, written by Thomas J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman, Jr.., States that the factors that cause companies great, one of the key is "concern". Nothing more prominent theme in great companies than respect for the individual. A great company is a company that treats its human resources with respect and dignity. Companies who view their employees as partners and not as a tool.

Instead the company is not successful, if you look at human resources as a tool. For example in the normal conditions for meningkatkankan company profits by doing layoffs on a large scale. If this is done then the company will not be successful in the long run. Several companies in Indonesia still sees man as a tool. The new issue was widely, having held the largest shares of foreign companies, but they are not losing money, but to increase profits to the employees laid off as a way out. Unless employees are given the freedom to opt out out of the company with certain severance payments, but not forced to layoffs. Corporate leaders who just thought the benefits of the company alone is a narrow minded, so that such companies are deviating from the 1945 Constitution, namely Article 33, the economy developed as a joint effort based on the principle of the family. So should the owners not the employees laid off, but the leadership of the company. The company also deviate from the Company Social Responsibility. Such companies clearly see the company as a tool of human resources and will not be successful in the long run.

"A good company can know exactly where the productivity can be produced with good and without limit. Productivity comes from employee groups that challenged, empowered, have the spirit and appreciated. Productivity comes from each individual, making each person as part of every step taken and allow each person to think, have a role in the success of a company. In doing this, the productivity that we can not gradually but doubled "said Jack Welch, former CEO of General Electric.

Meanwhile, Floris A. Maljers, while Unilever's CEO stated "the biggest obstacle faced by firms in the face of globalization is the limited human resources and not the capital resources".

The success of the companies most admired world reflects the magic that is achieved with respect to human resources rather than manipulate the human resources and looking at human resources as a tool. Companies that are able to respect the human resource is a great company.
